So it just started working? Well, I'm glad its working for you now! I don't have much experience overclocking GPUs, since I don't usually see much of a performance increase for the effort, but I'd say a 10% is a good improvement! If its noticeable, its always worth it.

IIRC there's just as information on each page as there was with the vBulletin version, it's just presented differently. IME the new style brings focus to the substance, something which was seriously lacking in the every-thread-is-the-same feel of the old style.
I think that one of the major advantages this new BB software has over vBulletin is that it's more fluid and allows for more style tweaks. It's not possible to go back to the old style without changing BACK to vBulletin, but I think for those that hate this new style a good compromise would be recommending and voting on layout changes that could combine the best of the old OCN with the benefits of the new.

I agree, I enjoy the new focus on content, I can see the product reviews and articles being very beneficial to the community once more users start to take advantage of it. And "Hustler," or whatever this new platform is called, is different than vBulletin, so they won't be able to make things exactly the same. And I'm sure that the mods/site developers are listening to our requests for things to be brought back to the "old OCN" style, but I bet they're spending most of the time still working out bug fixes, so let's give them a little more time.

When it comes down to it, the only thing that really irks me about the new OCN is that it feels like the right side banners are bigger than before. They take up too much space imo.

Oh come on. This is a little too dramatic for me. The spirit of OCN is merely what you make of it. So the forum layout got a revamp, big deal. It still works great as a forum and means of communication.
We need to get back on topic about the P5Q series MoBo.

I've been running stable on 3.9Ghz at 1.28v for a month now. That's spirit!

+1 to that! Great overclock at such low voltage Punjab. Its always a nice feeling when you've been running such a solid overclock for a good amount of time.

Ok, so maybe this isn't so much about the P5Q, but I'm thinking about going for a new SSD. I'm looking at the Samsung 830. I know its a SATA III drive and will slow down on a SATA II port, but I'm getting upgrade fever! I must hold out for Ivy!

With my current SSD getting close to filled, I'd like to go for a 120-128GB one. I thought I'd ask my buddies here in the P5Q club if they had any opinions.

EDIT: Oh, and I also pulled the trigger on an Nvidia GPU to use a dedicated folder and for occasional hybrid-PhysX action. I'll keep you guys posted on how setting it up goes on this board. I got a GTX460 from here on OCN, the seller still has about six he's trying to get rid of, in case anyone is interested.

And if anyone remembers, the second 6970 I had on order from amazon got canceled. It was listed for $200, but I got an email saying it was a pricing error. However, they did give a $10 off gift card in compensation, score! I put it to good use towards on my Skyrim order. Edited by jetpak12 - 11/21/11 at 10:36pm
